Grade 12 Classes

Today I got to experience four out of six of the classes I'm taking. To be honest it wasn't the best day I've ever had but I always have trouble the first few weeks of school due to the type of personality I have (awkward and reserved). Mainly I'm cranky today because I had a meeting at lunch and didn't get to eat all day but anyway here's my thoughts on my classes so far...

Biology: I absolutely love the subject. The people aren't super annoying and there are at least a few people I know. It doesn't seem like the work load will be that hard either. Overall I'll rate it a 7/10.

Math: I have neutral feelings about the subject but it's the class where my main issue with the day is. Although I'm not a person who struggles with math this will probably be my hardest class this year. The work load is very heavy and requires lots of studying and effort. In my class there is not one person I know which is awful. I know it's not a social class but I've always had bad luck with math classes. I never know anyone in my math classes, it would be nice if I did so I had someone I could work with but that isn't the case. Overall it currently gets a 4/10.

English: A subject I have neutral feelings about but this is definitely one of my better classes. English is a breeze for me which means a very easy work load. I have close friends in this class which is something you need in English because it can be quite boring. My teacher is new to the school but she seems cool and will probably be my favorite teacher this year. Overall it gets a 9/10.

Marine Biology: Another subject I love because I love Biology in general. This is an elective which means a light work load. I think the best thing about this class is the fact that I'm not trapped inside all day, I get to go out and go to the beach quite often. There are many field trips, lots of hands on experience, and it all seems like a lot of fun. The only downside is I don't really know anyone in this class. I know a couple of people but we are more of acquaintances than friends. Overall I'll give it a 7/10.

Creative Writing: I haven't actually had this class yet but since I've been taking it every year since grade nine I know how it'll go. The subject is great, the work load is easy, and overall there is a lot of freedom. Lots of my friends will be in this class this year which makes me feel ecstatic. Overall it will get a 9/10.

The only class I'm unsure about is chemistry. I know it'll be hard like math but I'm hoping there will at least be someone I know in the class to make me not hate it as much. I have nothing against chemistry as a subject but it's known to be difficult. I did quite well last year and I hope to do the same this year. I'm just crossing my fingers a certain someone doesn't end up in the same class with me, it doesn't seem like it'll happen but I tend to have quite bad luck when it comes to who's in my classes. Overall the school year looks like it'll be okay, probably quite similar to last year except less classes and more work.
